Su'scon S5 info and replacement advice

[oktools]

Hello,

I have a monitor with issues listed in another thread. I am looking for information on Su'scon S5 series capacitors. Or at least this is what I think they are because there is an s5 before the 105 Celsius mark. These also have an A3 on them.

I do not know if these are low esr, or not. These are from a Mag lcd monitor, the caps are dated 2003, and this monitor uses an external power brick.

These are very small capacitors, under 6mm tall. Recommended replacements?

S5... perhaps it's an SE or SG Series capacitor? I think there is a thread regarding the same issue below yours looking for similar cap replacements if it helps. It would be great if you could provide a couple pictures if at all possible.

I will get some pictures up. I am pretty sure they say S5.

Here is all I could find on these. No numbers for esr. I did see on suscon website they were listed as general purpose, does this mean for my repair I would not need to find low esr capacitors?

If anything I would just go for a low-esr cap for it and put your mind to ease. Match up the voltage and capacitance at minimum. Higher voltage cap and/or capacitance won't be an issue at all other than a larger capacitor. Mouser provides a pretty detailed list so you can sort by height, diameter, capacitance, etc to help pick what you need. COnsidering it being from '03 there should be smaller caps with better specs that will fit the space provided. Long as you can fit it you could go with a wider/taller cap without issues.

Basically the checklist should be the following:
1) Matching voltage or higher.
2) Matching capacitance or higher
3) Matching ESR or lower (in this case, get the lowest ESR cap you can find)
4) Matching Ripple current or higher.

What is the voltage and capacity of the cap? This way we can help you hunt down a suitable replacement. I'm having issues viewing that specsheet at the moment for some inane reason so cannot look it over. Reason I provided the basic checklist to aide but more information is needed otherwise to help pick one out.
